Observational StudyAssociation Between Intraoperative Hyperoxia and Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Observational Study.
Optimal oxygen management during cardiac surgery has not been established, and studies on the effects of perioperative hyperoxia on postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) are scarce. The association between intraoperative hyperoxia and AKI after cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass was evaluated for the present study. ⋯ Intraoperative hyperoxia significantly was associated with the risk of AKI after cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass.

Decrease of Coronal Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter is Associated With Postoperative Cognitive Decline in Patients Undergoing Carotid Endarterectomy.
Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) have a significant possibility of developing postoperative cognitive decline (POCD). POCD after surgery could be result from cerebral hypotension induced by cross-clamping or postoperative hyperperfusion. Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) exhibits an excellent correlation with invasive intracranial pressure monitoring, Here, the authors explored the risk factors of POCD in patients undergoing CEA, paying close attention to ONSD to test the hypothesis that decrease of coronal ONSD was related to the incidence of POCD. ⋯ Decrease of coronal ONSD, measured by ultrasonography and TIVA, were associated with POCD. Change in coronal ONSD was a moderate predictor of incidence of POCD.

Association Between Intercostal Nerve Block and Postoperative Glycemic Control in Patients With Diabetes Undergoing Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Pulmonary Resection: A Retrospective Study.
The present study was performed to investigate the possible association between intercostal nerve block (INB) and postoperative glycemic control in patients with diabetes undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resection. ⋯ INB, performed before closure of surgical incisions, was associated with improved glycemic control in patients with diabetes within 48 hours after video-assisted thoracoscopic pulmonary resection.

Primary Stroke and Failure-to-Rescue Following Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair.
To characterize the impact, on failure to rescue, of cerebrovascular accident as a first postoperative complication after thoracic endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (TEVAR). ⋯ Younger patients who developed stroke were up to ten times more likely to die, relative to patients who developed other major complications. Survival was substantially reduced when stroke was the primary complication. The authors' findings imply that to maximize the survival of patients undergoing TEVAR, efforts may be needed to predict and prevent stroke occurrence as a primary postoperative morbidity event.

The Comparison Between Bronchial Occlusion and Artificial Pneumothorax for Thoracoscopic Lobectomy in Infants.
To compare the difference between single-lung ventilation with bronchial occlusion and double-lung ventilation with carbon dioxide artificial pneumothorax for thoracoscopic lobectomy in infants. ⋯ Compared with CO2 artificial pneumothorax, bronchial occlusion is more favorable for thoracoscopic lobectomy in infants.
